Phu Kradueng (Thailand)

Today, I will talk about “How to go to Phu Kradueng” and “What does it has in Phu Kradueng”. Phu Kradueng is a mountain of National Park and it is signature some parts of Thailand. It is in the north east but Thailand call that “Isan”. I plan to go to Phu Kradueng on 2-5 December 2017 but we should be there two night, that enough.

Okay, let go to Phu Kradueng and see what it has there.

2nd December 2017:
At night, I buy round trip ticket on websiten but it is Thai language.

For me, I buy ticket online and get the real ticket at Phu Kradueng Tour Chanel 82 in Mo-Chit 2 Bus Terminal (Bangkok) after that get on a bus at here.

Departure time at 9.25 PM and we will arrive there at 5.00 AM on 3 December. We have to get off at stop point at Pha Nok Khao but you can tell diver that I will go to Phu Kradueng, he know that he will stop the bus at Pha Nok Khao.

Entry ticket.

We’ve alrady arrived Phu Kradueng but we have to wait until 7.00 AM. Because of we can go uphill at 7.00 AM. When the time is 7.00 AM, we have to rent a tent or house on the top of Phu Kradueng.

For me, I rent a tent 200 baht/night and space fee 30 baht/person/hight. This tent can sleep 3 people and I recommend you to rent a tent 200 baht. Because of it is bigger tent for 2 people. If you sleep alone, I recommend to rent a tent 200 baht. We don’t have to take a tent go uphill because of they have alrady prepared on the top on Phu Kradueng.

Rent a tent and pay space fee zone (Left side of entrance).

For some people that who can’t take a bagpack uphill, you can hire (Thai call “Luk Hab” who carry your bagpack (30 baht/kg).

Luk Hab carry your bagpck and others.

Lunch time. I’m sorry about picture, I’ve forgotten take a photo of restaurant here. There are many restaurant here. There is a bicycle for rent to go to anywhere on the map.

After have lunch finished, I plan to see the sunset at LOMSAK Cliff (Away from here about 9 km). I’d like to recommend that if you wouldn’t like to see sunset at LOMSAK Cliff, you should go to all place tomorrow. But LOMSAK Cliff is signature to see the sunset. There are many people on weekend or long holiday, you can’t use long time to take photo over there. I recommend you should plan go to Phu Kradueng on weekday.

After we saw sunset finished and we will arrive to accommodation about 6.30 pm or 7.00 pm. When you arrive accommodation, I recommend that you should be tried to eat Moo Kratha. It is 500 baht/set, it is enough for 2 people.

Ticket for return, we can buy here or online before we come here.

For my ticket, the bus will depart at 8.20 pm. It’s so long time because of I don’t konw that we can buy ticket here. So I have to wait here until 8.20 pm but we can take a shower and sleep few hours behind of restuarant. That’s all of this travelling.

If you have qestion or recommend, please let me know. And I sorry about my English or some details that wrong, my English is terrible. I’ll improve it.
